If you do not already have a DOE badge, attendees must contact Steven Garcia sgarci1@sandia.gov, (505) 284-5552 at least two weeks in advance and provide requested identifying information. Plan on picking up a badge at the Sandia badge office about 1/2 mile away before first entering DOE premises.
FOREIGN NATIONALS
Foreign nationals will require a badge to access Sandia facilities but the process for foreign nationals is more time consuming than the process in the paragraph above. Foreign nationals should contact Steven Garcia sgarci1@sandia.gov, (505) 284-5552 immediately and should plan on stopping at the Sandia badge office about 1/2 mile away before first entering DOE premises.
ATTENDANCE AND REGISTRATION FEE
Attendance is by invitation only. If you are in the industry and would like an invitation, please call Erik DeBenedictis (505) 284-4017 or e-mail erikdebenedictis@sandia.gov.

SENSITIVE INFORMATION
The meeting will include information at various levels of sensitivity.
- Some sessions on the schedule will indicate the information is sensitive (i. e. export controlled and proprietary). Attendees not eligible to receive specific information will be asked to leave the meeting room as needed.
- There will be Government session that may be attended by only Government, FFRDC, and SETA employees.
- While the entire meeting is by invitation only, there may be additional invitation-only sessions not posted on the Internet.
HOTEL

DIRECTIONS
The meeting will be held at several locations:
- We expect all evening activities to be at the hotel.
- Except as noted above, open portions of the meeting will be held at Sandia’s Computer Science Research Institute (CSRI) building on 1450 Innovation Parkway, Albuquerque, NM 87123 (map below). This facility is outside of Kirtland Air Force Base; visitors please do not try to enter Kirtland Air Force Base as you will probably not succeed and it will cause quite a delay. All attendees will need to make arrangements for a badge and then go to the badge office.
- Closed portions of the meeting will be held in other buildings at Sandia; meet at the CSRI building for directions.

ATTENDENCE AND REGISTRATION FEE
Attendance is by invitation only. If you are in the industry and would like an invitation, please call Erik DeBenedictis (505) 284-4017 or e-mail erikdebenedictis@sandia.gov. We are charging a $155 registration fee to all attendees. This fee has been set to cover the cost of food due principally to gifting regulations pertaining to government participants. Register at the Sandia Webpay website at https://cfwebprod.sandia.gov/cfdocs/ccpwa/ and selecting “Fault-Tolerant Spaceborne Computing Using New Technologies” as the event name.
SENSITIVE INFORMATION
The workshop will include information at various levels of senstitivity.
- Some sessions on the schedule will indicate the information is sensitive (i. e. export controlled and proprietary). Attendees not eligible to receive specific information will be asked to leave the meeting room as needed.
- There will be Government session that may be attended by only Government, FFRDC, and SETA employees.
- While the entire workshop is by invitation only, there may be additional invitation-only sessions not posted on the Internet.
FOREIGN NATIONALS
Foreign nationals will require a badge to enter DOE facilities. Foreign nationals should contact the conference sponsors immediately about a badge and should plan on stopping at the Sandia badge office about 1/2 mile away before first entering DOE premises.
ACCOMMODATIONS
The associated hotel is is the Sheraton at Menaul and Lousiana. Please go to this website: https://www.starwoodmeeting.com/StarGroupsWeb/res?id=1204275408&key=78DBA or Call the Sheraton directly 505-881-0000. Group name “Fault-Tolerant Spaceborne Computing.” Rate: $81 per night.
DIRECTIONS
The workshop will be held at several locations:
- We expect all evening activities to be at the associated hotel in the uptown area of Albuquerque.
- Except as noted above, open portions of the workshop will be held at Sandia’s Computer Science Research Institute (CSRI) building on 1450 Innovation Parkway, Albuquerque, NM 87123 (map below). This facility is outside of Kirtland Air Force Base; visitors please do not try to enter Kirtland Air Force Base as you will probably not succeed and it will cause quite a delay. US Citizens may go directly to the CSRI building; foreign nationals will need to make arrangements for a badge and then go to the badge office.
- Closed portions of the workshop will be held in other buildings at Sandia; meet at the CSRI building for directions.
